Baobab & The Great Green Wall of Africa - Aduna

  • Aduna is helping to grow The Great Green Wall: a ground-breaking initiative led by the African Union to build and preserve an 8,000km wall of trees across the African Sahel.
    The Sahel, where Aduna’s baobab fruit supply chain is based, is one of the world’s poorest regions. People rely on the land to survive but climate change is causing desertification, making it impossible for communities to grow crops and earn a living.
    Learn how we, together with our local partners ORGIIS, have transformed baobab from an under-utilised resource to a lifeline for local communities. And discover the crucial role Baobab has to play in The Great Green Wall - creating sustainable livelihoods, reversing the effects of climate change and providing communities with a reason to stay.

      Anton, it's even better to grow feed for the animals the hypertonic way: using minimal water, keeping the cattle from grazing the land until the eco balance has been established. India uses this technique with success.

    Great initiative. I would however be interested to know what is done to encourage baobab recruitment/new trees to be planted. In my home region, we do not find many juvenile baobab and the longevity of baobab trees may cause a false sense of sustainability, but a resource cannot be sustainable if the existing trees is not replaceable at some stage.

    • @dwele7852
      @dwele7852 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      good questions. Baobab trees live can live upward of 1500 years so while most trees are do need replacement it wont be for generations in this case. rom my understanding of the video just like crops more trees means more yields and better earnings. the next stage they seem to want implement is finding other resources similar to baobab that can fit into a similar agro forestry model. If baobab is not in your area perhaps something else unique is that has benefit o the environment and you can always go to market and see if you cna find seeds or the fruit and plant your own. I hope this helps 🙂

    • @AdunaFeelGoodWorld
      @AdunaFeelGoodWorld  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your thoughtful comment Letsie! The trees are are all wild, meaning no plantations or monocultures. The income is already being recycled into new plantings, but this is as part of a permaculture approach, helping to contribute to regeneration of the local ecosystem. We are 8 years in and it is working well!

    • @Fabdanc
      @Fabdanc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is part of the major challenge though... Without an economic incentive, these initiatives are failing in other parts of the Sahel. If the people planting the trees are not compensated in some capacity, either through long-term permaculture or through funds dispersed through the local governments... The people in these regions will continue to graze animals and cut down trees.
      It's a very nuanced conversation... But I think where these initiatives are proving most successful, these restoration projects are not producing monocultures. They are regenerating forests with trees that yield profits, other native trees, and creating permaculture systems working with the landscape.
      Sadly, other parts of this initiative are failing. Where I tend to see them fail is where there is no additional partnerships or ongoing education... The locals just abandon the projects because there is no immediate return and no further assistance.

    • @AdunaFeelGoodWorld
      @AdunaFeelGoodWorld  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Please rest assured that Aduna is a small, social purpose business which is partnered with a local conservation NGO, who in turn helps to form the women into self-managing co-operatives groups, who altogether (more than 100 of them) are part of a larger baobab co-operative society. While Aduna provides a vehicle for them into the market, all on-the-ground activities are lead by a highly passionate local team, with our collective mission to create sustainable income and help conserve the trees and restore the natural environment. The commercialisation of the fruits is the means by which they are being conserved, since the local communities are motivated to protect them from being chopped or bulldozed and replaced with the cash crops. Alongside the economic activity we also have the new plantings, which are done by the communities themselves.

    Who had this strange idea to ''join the global market'' ?
    It will create more value on a local, regional market, if it becomes a local food basis,
    Then expend the market, or join other local productions for a national distribution.
    Global market as ''exportation'' will submit this product to western food industry that pays nothing.

    Pls Ghana, don't just export the Boabab, also manufacture the end product and export it within Africa and then the rest of the world. We need intra African trade not just exporting raw materials to Europe and USA etc. only to buy the finished products at much higher prices.
    Imagine Africa as one country like USA, that's what the future holds for Africa, UNITED STATES OF AFRICA and that is the only way we can end the subjugation of black people in the world. All these out tiny tiny countries can't fend for themselves against juggernauts like EU, USA, UK, France and other wicked and imperialist countries.
    Russia and China have never colonized us by the way and was not part of the Berlin Conference in 1885 when they balkanized Africa into tiny fragmentations you see today.

      Our pouches can be recycled with carrier bags in the UK which is where the majority of our customer base is.
